Scene 3

Tarsus. A room in Cleon’s house.

(Cleon; Dionyza)

Dinoyza has told Cleon about Marina’s murder (as she supposed) and he is deeply distressed. Dionyza tells him he’s a fool and assures him that Pericles will never know, since she has poisoned Leonine. Cleon is disturbed at his wife’s character, but she is sure he’ll obey her. (57 lines)
